Terrific job done by Boston Framers!…read more We had contacted seven other contractors before getting such a positive response from Boston Framers. Our initial inquiry was sent on a Saturday, but the owner, Ruy Barbosa, replied within an hour. He met us the following workday to go over our needs and discussed various options. He projected confidence at being able to renovate our deck yet maintain its overall look. He was willing to work with us and the city's historic commission to preserve some key features of the deck. During the course of the work, Ruy and his staff were responsive to questions or changes that we requested. Communication with them was great. They were eager to please us and found ways to make the project stay on-time and within budget, even when curve balls were thrown at them. Overall, they renovated our dilapidated deck boards with composite flooring. They removed heavy railings and pillars, completely overhauled the structural supports, installed the composite flooring and finally replaced the railings & pillars. Additionally, we had them pressure wash and paint the deck. The cost associated with the structural supports and flooring was very much in line with what we believed was reasonable. We liked their work so much that they have also redone our rear porch & steps. Currently we are waiting on estimates for three more home projects. Before and after photos attached

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months…read moreto get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end.

I met Flavio for a consultation and quotation on some repairs to my foundation. We have to wait on…read morethis project, unfortunately, but I just want to share that Flavio was very friendly, honest, and thorough. He taught me a lot of things about my home's foundation and (unlike other experiences I've had) didn't try to pressure or scare me into things I didn't need to do. I'm looking forward to hiring him for this or another project soon. I trust that it would be in good hands working with FSA!

Not sure I need to say more. Went in for prices on advertised chairs. First, chair prices were…read moreoutrageous. $500 for some plastic chairs. Crazy!!!!!!!!! Of course, the salesperson tried to impress upon me how high the quality was and how much of a deal I was getting. Right!!! Got a comparable chair from Costco for $116. Supporting small business is a joy, but it should not cost my children's college fund.

I reached out to Josh at Decks Plus early in the year (2021) to replace my deck railing, waterproof…read moremy under deck, and wrap the unfinished support posts - basically one big face lift. Josh and team were AMAZING! Always easy to reach (I prefer using email vs phone calls and Josh was happy to accommodate) and willing to answer all of my questions (even the basic ones). The workmanship is just gorgeous and the price was very reasonable for the effort. It looks like a whole new house! They even helped me navigate my town's permit process (necessary b/c we installed two new support posts). I'm so happy with the work - thank you Josh and Decks Plus, highly recommend!

Jackson and his crew have provided services to our triple decker in Cambridge for several years,…read morewith services ranging from short handyman type jobs cleaning, to two complete bathroom remodels, deck powerwashing/staining, cleaning, and interior painting. Jackson is extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. He was able to quote and complete two bathroom remodels in a very tight timeline (between tenants), came exactly when promised, completed the work with quality and on-time, and at the agreed-upon price -- and left everything extremely clean. I had positive interactions with multiple members of the crew, who really seemed to know what they were doing. I recommend!

I have also enlisted Jack's crew for handyman projects within my unit such as hanging or rehanging prints and a mirror, removing a useless basement door lock and an unused length of cable left by the prior owner. Earlier on, the ceiling of my spare room had to be repainted due to a stain caused by a defective gutter issue. Pristine paint job. The ceiling looked brand new when finished. I already have a list of upcoming jobs to be done including the removal of "clutter" after a late spring cleaning. The crew couldn't be nicer or more accommodating and ..... the price is always right!

Rob and his team at RP Wilkinson Construction were incredible, from the first point of contact with…read moreRob, to the final clean-up of the site when they were finished. Here are some of the reasons why: Responsiveness and Communication: When we initially called Rob for an estimate, he got back to us that same day. Throughout the process, he let us know exactly where they were at with the project. Thorough Estimate: Rob came over and performed a three hour estimate/consultation with us, free of charge. He left no rock unturned, telling us all of our different options (from a pressure treated wood deck to a Trex deck with all of the different options and colors that come with it) and the pros and cons of each. There was absolutely no pressure to up-sell, which leads to the next point: Complete Willingness to Work - and Stay - Within Our Budget: We told Rob what our budget was and he maximized the deck space within it. Quality of Construction: The deck was impeccably designed and built. His three man team worked their tails off every day. Mike, the "quarterback" of the team, has built hundreds of decks, to give you a sense of how much experience they have. Complete Satisfaction: After the final walk-through, Rob told us that if we later see something that doesn't look right, we should call him and he will come out and make it right. That gave us peace of mind. When the job was finished, their clean-up was so meticulous that there wasn't a trace that any construction had just been performed. They even took a Shop Vac to our yard to collect the remaining sawdust! And finally, Rob is a Genuinely Nice Guy: Here is an example. Somehow, we got to talking about how my basement has been flooding and Rob recommended a product to seal the crack in the wall. Then he even offered to buy a tube of the sealant from the hardware store that he had to buy some stuff from that day. Or, another example: there was a little space left over in the dumpster that they used to throw away the debris from the old deck. Rob asked us if we had anything that we wanted to throw away before they removed the dumpster. Acts of kindness like that really made an impression. I strongly recommend calling Rob for an estimate if you are thinking about building a new deck. We couldn't be happier.

On the first trip, they mounted a TV, put up lattice, put in a cat door, at a great price! Walked around with me and helped identify which gutters needed repairs and which needed replacement, noticed which windows needed caulk, went up on the roof and noticed some nails weren't properly tarred, ect. Great guys!
